Laparoscopic nephrectomy: initial case report

R V Clayman et al. J Urol. 1991 Aug.

Abstract

A tumor-bearing right kidney was completely excised from an 85-year-old woman using a laparoscopic approach. A newly devised method for intra-abdominal organ entrapment and a recently developed laparoscopic tissue morcellator made it possible to deliver the 190 gm. kidney through an 11 mm. incision.
